Probably tried to save a few $$$ by installing a longer engine instead of a short PT-6...
But he can fly in Africa whitout having to worry about engine replacement (It's the same powerplant that the L410 uses)

I've seen a couple of turbine conversions of the Lancair for sale online. Those plans were ungodly fast for a piston engine plane, I can't imagine one with a turbine. Most of the ones I've seen for sale list around $550-$600 thousand dollars.

1400 mile range seems improbable. It has such a small fuel capacity from what I've noticed. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe fueling one just like it (and flying one similar to it) doesn't count for much but wouldn't it have to carry about 125 gallons to reach 1400 miles? Looking at the wing area (where the tanks are) its not very large. But, maybe I'm wrong.

Anyways, when fully loaded with fuel, it doesn't have the hauling capacity that I would want in a plane, and its a Walter and not a P&W.

Could there have been extra tanks added in the fuse? Possibly behind/in the place of the baggage compartment.

Just a thought.

I don't remember if there is, but still- in place of the baggage compartment? WHERE DO I PUT THE BEER?

In the rear passanger seat?

Then where do the supermodels go?

In your lap!

Note to self: Never wait until the day before the sources are due to start slogging though peoples theses and dissertations to find source material for your research paper...

You mean you don't get an adrenaline rush from procrastination like me?

Posted: **Mon Mar 26, 2007 2:38 pm**

Oh, I do, its just that after the adrenaline wears off and the fatigue sets in (about 2:00 am), other people's doctoral dissertations and abstracts for their Master's papers begin to make very little, if any, sense.

Thats why I picked psychology, much more interesting articles.

I'm taking an anthropology course, and I can't keep my eyes open while reading them. It hurts my brain just thinking about it.
